Contradiction with Job 42:2
Demonstrates God's ultimate power and willingness to listen and interact, contradicting the silence mentioned in Job 9:19.
Job 42:2: I know that thou canst do every [thing], and [that] no thought can be withholden from thee. [no thought can be...: or, no thought of thine can be hindered]
Contradiction with Psalm 62:11
Asserts that power belongs to God entirely, suggesting His engagement rather than remoteness, contrary to Job 9:19's implications.
Psalm 62:11: God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power [belongeth] unto God. [power: or, strength]
Contradiction with Isaiah 40:29
Indicates that God provides strength and increases power to the weak, contradicting Job 9:19 where might is overwhelming and one-sided.
Isaiah 40:29: He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increaseth strength.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 32:17
Proclaims that nothing is too hard for God, suggesting His omnipotent authority in a more approachable sense contrary to Job 9:19.
Jeremiah 32:17: Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, [and] there is nothing too hard for thee: [too...: or, hid from thee]
Contradiction with Matthew 19:26
Highlights the possibility of all things with God, contrasting with Job 9:19's view of categorical might.
Matthew 19:26: But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Paradox #1
Job 9:19 could present a doctrinal tension when considering God's omnipotence and justice. The verse suggests that God is very powerful, but it can be difficult to understand how this power is always exercised justly, especially in the context of human suffering. People might struggle to reconcile the idea of a perfectly just and loving God with the experiences of unjust suffering in the world, as seen in the broader story of Job.
Paradox #2
Job 9:19 highlights God's immense power and justice. A potential contradiction arises when considering how an all-powerful, just God allows suffering and injustice in the world, as seen in Job's own story. This can create a tension between the belief in God’s justice and the reality of human suffering.
